History.
Nonfiction.
HTML: The popular image of the British Rajâ??an era of efficient but officious governors, sycophantic local functionaries, doting amahs, blisteringly hot days and torrid nightsâ??chronicled by Forster and Kipling is a glamorous, nostalgic, but entirely fictitious. In this dramatic revisionist history, Jon Wilson upends the carefully sanitized image of unity, order, and success to reveal an empire rooted far more in violence than in virtue, far more in chaos than in control.
